MetroWest Commission on the Status of Women Hosts Inspiring International Women's Day Event - Mar 8

The MetroWest Commission on the Status of Women is proud to announce its upcoming International Women's Day event, scheduled for March 8, 2024 from 7-9 pm, at the Common Street Spiritual Center located at 13 Common Street in Natick. This event promises to be
an empowering celebration of women's achievements and a platform for advocacy and unity within the community.

International Women's Day is a globally recognized occasion that commemorates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women while also calling for gender equality.

This year, the MetroWest Commission on the Status of Women is organizing an event that highlights the resilience, strength, and contributions of women from diverse backgrounds.

The event will feature a series of inspiring speeches, artistic performances and exciting vendor displays all aimed at promoting gender equality and empowering women. Attendees will have the
opportunity to engage with thought leaders, activists, and community members, fostering dialogue and collaboration on issues affecting women locally and globally.

"We are thrilled to host this year's International Women's Day event at the Common Street Spiritual Center," said Odessa Sanchez, Regional Commissioner of the MetroWest Commission on the Status of Women. "This event provides an invaluable opportunity for us to come together as a community, celebrate the achievements of women, and reaffirm our commitment to gender equality and women's rights."

In addition to the enriching program, the event will also support a worthy cause - combating period poverty. The MetroWest Commission on the Status of Women is partnering with We Are Fihri, a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing period poverty, to provide period poverty kits to those in need. These kits contain essential menstrual hygiene products and aim to alleviate the financial burden associated with menstruation for vulnerable individuals.

The MetroWest Commission on the Status of Women encourages individuals and organizations across the region to join in this celebration, support women's empowerment, and contribute to the
fight against period poverty.

Tickets for the event are free. Space is limited, please reserve at
